More fun

Yesterday, I took Cory and Alyssa to the Snoqualmie Gourmet Ice Cream shop in Maltby. They make the best ice cream! We had lunch there and than Alyssa and I got some pumpkin ice cream that was fabulous!
Afterwards we went to Cory's friends house who is a cop for BNSF, and lives nearby. His wife wasn't around but we hung out with him for a few hours and he became Alyssa's best friend after bringing her a plate of cookies. Alyssa promptly took one and started eating it and claimed each one by taking a little bite and putting them back. The plate was completely for her. Doug and his wife had also got her a Christmas gift. Alyssa hasn't stopped playing with it. It's a cute little car that of course makes all kinds of noise.
Today we went to the Everett Children's Museum and had a blast. Alyssa loves that place. She ran all around and was surprisingly in a good mood considering she hadn't had her nap yet. After about two hours we left and on our way out decided to get a membership there. It's such a great deal money wise and it's so close to our house we couldn't pass it up.
I have decided that Alyssa is going to have her birthday party there this year. It will be so much fun. I can't wait or believe that she will be two in two months! The time sure has flied by. We are gearing up for a very busy week, with my birthday celebration, shopping, and Christmas. I can't wait for it all and will keep you all posted!
